Dutch Design Spotlight | Femkeido

This week has been a little blue for me. Perhaps the come down after a very intense few months, and now we’re here, life is moving on, Piet has started his new job and I am feeling a bit directionless. Not to mention the only work I would like to do, I am not technically qualified for. My dream would be to work part-time with a fabulous design firm. Even grunt work, or admin…just to be surrounded by the things that make me happy.

It’s been soothing my soul to obsess over my new favorite local interior design studio, Femkeido. If you know me, then you will see why I love their work. The colors, fabrics, textures – and minimal use of tasteful wallpaper – speaks to me. The way they use material and layering to create warmth and mood is beautiful. I want to curl up on the floor in each of these spaces. You should definitely give them a follow in IG for a regular dose of design inspiration on your feed. Enjoy!

“What Would Keven Do” and “That’s So Keven!” are no mere weightless catch phrases, they are indicative of realization that you, madam, have a gift. Formal training or no, your innate aptitude in design and aesthetic are obvious and prevalent to everyone who knows you. This is your passion? It is your calling. I have no doubt at all that could walk into a design firm, present a portfolio and be accepted as a gifted devotee. The proof is in the pudding, and you have generated a prolific and admirable pudding wherever you have gone. Ok, that last one was just to make you laugh. Viva la Keven.
